🇬🇧 Gustav Burton

Gustav Burton is a semi-professional driver rated 3,354, placing him among competitive amateurs; he races full-time in a professional one-make series but finishes well outside the front-runners and has not yet scored a podium. His career spans three seasons in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup from 2023 to 2025, during which he has started 15 races for Team Proton Huber Competition without a win or podium finish. His average grid position across classified starts sits at 14th, reflecting a consistent struggle to reach the sharp end of a field that regularly features established professionals graded at Gold and Silver level by the FIA.[1]

Burton's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals tells a story of being outpaced by the field. Against Huub van Eijndhoven, an FIA Silver driver, he trails 6 to 9 across 15 races. Against the two most accomplished drivers in his regular competitive set, Alessandro Ghiretti and Marvin Klein, both FIA Gold graded, Burton has finished ahead in zero of their 11 shared races each; both drivers are significantly stronger, with Ghiretti the 2025 series champion and Klein rated 4,871. He has occasionally beaten much stronger drivers in isolation, including Larry Ten Voorde, a three-time Supercup champion rated 5,759, but these are single results in much deeper fields rather than evidence of competitiveness at their level.[2]

The recent headlines dating from 2026 indicate Burton may have progressed toward podium contention, though they post-date the authoritative career record provided here. Within the data supplied, Burton remains a developing competitor in a professional series, consistently finishing outside the points against a cadre of semi-professional and professional rivals.
